Mukti· Liberation

See the Supreme Soul Everywhere

“With a pure heart one should see Me, the Supreme Soul within all beings and also within oneself, to be both unblemished by anything material and also present everywhere, both externally and internally, just like the omnipresent sky.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.29.12, translation

What the purport teaches

  • With a pure heart, one should see the Lord as the Supreme Soul within all beings and within oneself.
  • Like the omnipresent sky, the Lord is present externally and internally, yet remains unblemished by anything material.
  • This description attracts those inclined toward philosophical speculation about the Absolute Truth, who are searching for ultimate unity.

Try this today

Pause today to reflect on the Supreme Soul’s presence within you and within one person you meet.

Ask yourself

How might remembering the Lord’s presence within myself and others change my outlook?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

From Canto 10, chapter 14 onward, the translation and purports were completed by Śrīla Prabhupāda's disciples after his departure, and published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
